The Moonshine Conspiracy

The Moonshine Conspiracy

The Moonshine Conspiracy[1] is a collective of surfers and artists who share a certain retro sensibility. The Conspiracy began in 1998 by Emmett Malloy, his cousins, the Malloy brothers (surfers Chris Malloy, Keith, and Dan), and former pro surfer, musician Jack Johnson[2] in Ventura, California. Moonshine released 4 films[3] but there are 6[clarification needed] total.

Later, a record label, The Moonshine Conspiracy Records, was formed originally to release soundtracks for Woodshed Films (owned by Jack Johnson and others). After releasing Johnson's On and On through Universal Records, the label became Brushfire Records, named in part after Johnson's Enjoy Records album debut.
